About this Artist
David “RunDMB” Bishop is an English designer and illustrator renowned for his distinctive hand-drawn abstract graffiti style. A fine arts university graduate, he currently serves as a creative director at a UK design studio. His artistic influences stem from ’80s and ’90s hip-hop culture, the work of graffiti artist Futura 2000, cinema, art, and graffiti.  In the niche realm of custom vinyl and resin art toys, RunDMB has established himself as a veteran artist. His unique designs have garnered international recognition, featuring in collections worldwide. Beyond toys, he customizes trainers, skate decks, and various other mediums, occasionally releasing limited edition t-shirts and prints. It’s been nearly 2 years in the making, but we are finally here. 30 UK Artists and Designers have taken the 8” blank DIY platform toy “Qee”, and used it to express what “Heavy Metal” means to them. The finished pieces are ready and will be displayed for 1 week at the Forbidden Planet Megastore in London. The show starts on the 12th of April and runs through till the 19th. Come down and take a look at these amazing creations. To go with the show I have produced a 64 page book. The book has a spread dedicated to each artists creation, with full colour photographs, and information about the artist and their masterpiece. The books will go on sale in-store at Forbidden Planet, and online at fugi.me from the 12th of April, for just £14.99 each. On the 19th of April at 6pm, there will be a meet the artists session at Forbidden Planet. The majority of the artists involved in the project will be on hand to talk to you about their creations, sign your show book, and maybe if your lucky doodle on your own blank qee. Of course there will be the usual free badges, cake, and
